Decorating With Cameroonian Juju Hats
The Cameroon Juju Hat is hands down one of my favorite accessories to decorate with. My juju hat is currently tucked away in storage as I settle into my new apartment, but when it arrives, I can’t wait to place it above my mantel where it’s sure to make a bold statement.
Originally worn by tribal chiefs and dignitaries in the Cameroonian kingdoms, juju hats feature feathers beautifully woven onto a raffia base. In an array of colors that range from deep purple, to magenta, red, creamy white and even jet black, juju hats have the ability to add both color and texture to a space.

Whether over a mantel or just off-center the juju hat is sure to command attention.
I love how this crimson red juju hat gives this dark living room a bright jolt of color.
And a mix of three or four hats can create a unique piece of original wall art. Just pick your favorite colors in varying sizes for your own statement piece.
You can find juju hats online at L’Aviva Home and AfricanArt.com. Both sites have a variety of fun colors for you to choose from just in time for Spring!
wow…i love those bold colors together…looks really awesome
This is pretty much awesome! I would get it, but I wouldn't know where to put it. Also I wonder what it looks like in person and what other colors they will have coming out.
Please tell my why my favorite show (The Stagers) isn't on HGTV. I've looked for, inquired, etc. Your schedule says it's on Tues at 9:30 p.m. but it's not! Have you taken it off the air…if so, why for heaven sake. He is so great to watch!!! Thanks…
How does one buy a Juju hat? How much do they cost? I think these "hat" are wonderful looking!
Thanks ahead of time for any info you can give me.

Hi Barbara – Jeanine suggests these websites for purchasing Juju hats: L’Aviva Home (lavivahome.com) and AfricanArt.com. I've seen them listed for anywhere between $200 and $600. They are beautiful.
Beautiful designing with a unique taste of tradition. Juju hats adds beauty in walls.
I just did a DIY for how to make your own juju hat! Come check it out! http://flutterfluter.ca/
you can buy them at the best price at Africanart.com. I just got three and they are awesome. Would love any insight on the best way to hang them on a wall, though.
What do you think about this faux DIY alternative I found on Design*Sponge? Looks fun to make. But I think it will be harder to dust than an authentic one. http://www.dehttp://www.designsponge.com/2011/06/…
